Study Notes

Cognitive Behavioral Frames of Reference (CBF)

Integrates cognitive and behavioral strategies to modify thoughts seen as "behaviors."
Recognizes internal factors (beliefs, emotions, attitudes) that influence human behavior.

Key Contributors

Social psychologists: Bandura, Beck, and Ellis.
Adaptations for occupational therapy (OT) made by Stein, Cutler, and Duncombe.

Occupational Therapy Approaches

Psychoeducational group approach.
Self-regulation model.
Social and life skills training model.
Coping model.

Pediatric Cognitive Approaches

Cognitive Behavior Modification.
Cognitive Strategy Training.
Verbal Self-Guidance.
Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupation (CO-OP).
Passport to Learning.

Focus of Cognitive Behavioral Frames

Effective for addressing psychological barriers to occupational engagement, such as emotional and motivational interference.
Useful for targeting negative habits like self-stimulation and chemical dependency.

Emphasizes interactions among person, behavior, and environment.
Cognitive processes mediate these interactions, influencing behavior.

Observational Learning

Example: Negative perceptions about adaptive equipment deter usage, reinforcing feelings of weakness or limitation.

Modeling in SLT

Role-playing and demonstrating tasks guide behavioral imitation.
Effective in OT for showcasing new methods to accomplish familiar tasks.

Reinforcement Hierarchy

Proposes a shift from reliance on external reinforcement to internal self-control and direction.

Self-Control and Self-Regulation

Goals should be tangible and measurable, addressing emotional management and stress.
Techniques include biofeedback and relaxation strategies.

Self-Efficacy and Awareness

Efficacy pertains to one's belief in effectively engaging with the environment.
Awareness involves realistic self-appraisal and understanding the impact of one's actions on others.

Insight

Recognizing one's ability changes due to health conditions and the internal barriers that affect motivation and ability.

Cognitive Therapy (Beck)

Primarily targeted at depression, linking emotions with cognitive distortions.
The ABC Method:
- A - Activating event.
- B - Beliefs about the event.
- C - Consequences of those beliefs.

Cognitive Distortions

Represent exaggerated or misinterpreted perceptions of reality, which can be explored scientifically for truth-seeking.

Automatic Thoughts

Patterns of habitual logical errors; clients learn to analyze their thought processes through facilitated discussions.

Scientific Method in Therapy

Clients define specific problems and hypotheses, collecting data for insight and resolution.

Socratic Method

Uses guided questioning to clarify beliefs and assumptions leading to emotional responses.

Rational Emotive Therapy

Enhances Beck's model by incorporating techniques to dispute irrational beliefs, promoting cognitive change.

Cognitive Restructuring

Encourages clients to accept responsibility and recognize the link between thoughts and emotions.

Phenomenology

Stresses the importance of the client’s perspective for developing effective intervention strategies.

Collaboration in CBT

Fundamental to understanding the impact of illnesses on occupational roles and personal priorities.

Activity in Therapy

Involves not only dialogues but also observing behaviors influenced by cognitive processes.

Empiricism

Advocates for a scientific approach in therapy, allowing clients to apply reasoning to their lives without external imposition.

Generalization

Promotes transferring learned skills to real-world situations, bridging therapy and everyday life.

Role of Occupational Therapists (OTs) in CBT

Focus on fostering independence and self-efficacy through skills training and realistic assessments of abilities.

Function vs. Disability

Function: Ability to manage thought processes, cope with stress, and balance roles.
Disability: Involves maladaptive behaviors stemming from poor learning experiences.

Change and Motivation

Reinforcement plays a crucial role in behavioral change, with both internal and external sources of motivation emphasized.

CBT Techniques for Managing Issues

Effective for anxiety, distorted thinking, and relaxation training.
Biofeedback complements relaxation efforts.

Challenging Negative Thinking

Techniques like de-catastrophizing and challenging absolutes help to reframe irrational thoughts.

Visualization and Mindfulness

Using mental imagery to overcome anxiety, coupled with systematic desensitization strategies.

Thought Stopping

A method to intervene when automatic negative thoughts arise, encouraging clients to redirect their focus.

Self-Instruction

Teaches clients to guide themselves through tasks and replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations.

Evaluation Techniques

Initial occupational profiles assess client perceptions, utilizing various assessment tools, including depression scales.

Intervention Guidelines

Primarily aimed at clients with self-awareness and reasoning skills, focusing on thought processes, knowledge, and skills.

Psychoeducational Groups

OTs facilitate groups that provide skills and education on various everyday issues such as medication management and budgeting.

Coping Model of Pediatric OT

Encourages children to utilize internal and external resources to navigate environmental challenges and develop coping skills.

CO-OP Approach in Pediatric OT

Focuses on improving motor tasks in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), integrating cognitive strategies.

Guidelines for CO-OP Use

Emphasizes child autonomy in goal-setting and incorporates dynamic performance analysis for effective learning.

Dynamic Performance Analysis

Evaluates children's motivation, knowledge, and performance to tailor support and address barriers.

Research Insights

Relevant studies, such as those by Duncombe, help inform the effectiveness of CBF in therapy.
